With our 20th and final pick,
That's What She Said would like to congratulate our fellow GM's for a highly competitive and entertaining draft and of course, take a moment to thank our commissioner, GirlySports, for keeping us all on the straight & narrow.
In this final round,
TWSS, selects with our final
Wildcard spot, the Kenneth Branagh version of Shakespeare's comedy
Much Ado About Nothing made back in 1993.
With an all-star cast featuring Denzel Washington, Michael Keaton, Emma Thompson, Keanu Reeves and others - this enchanting tale of love, deception, honour and rebirth is charming and lively. Branagh's direction makes the Shakespearean language accessible so you can simply enjoy the witty dialogue and various plot-lines the play/movie offers.
Thompson and Branagh are excellent in it and you can feel the chemistry between them (mind you they were still married at the time) as they played the warring and then wooing Benedick and Beatrice. The rest of the cast clearly enjoyed their roles and frankly, Michael Keaton is a riot as Dogberry the constable.
